Technology Use in Fighting Corruption

Examples of use of technology in Anti-Corruption Project work 1997 - 2011

In Mexico a series of short videos were shown on all TV channels in public service time called "cineminutos contra la corrupción." Many are still on YouTube and can be seen using the word "cineminutos" on their searcher. This was the best (in my opinion) of the video shorts we did in Mexico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z40xaEAcKE4 We (along with The World Bank) also had a competition among screen writers to prepare a script for a longer video case of about 15 minutes. It was produced with professional actors and shown as a short subject in every movie theater in Mexico reaching millions. I have been unable to find it. In Ecuador we had a university cinematography group write and produce a 15 minute video about a major Ponzi Scheme very similar to the Bernard Madoff case in the US. I gave away my last DVD and have no copy available. The following are examples of my project websites over the years. In the blank space at top of each the daily corruption news was scrolled three articles at a time USAID LAC Regional Americas'Accountability / Anti-Corruption Project (AAA Project) website in English: http://web.archive.org/web/20000605070448/http://www.respondanet.com/english/index.htm AAA Website in Spanish:... http://web.archive.org/web/20000617190917/http://www.respondanet.com/ AAA Spanish Newsletter (20,000 subscribers via e-mail - This priceless mailing list was lost when the project ended.
